But now I take a 300 Weatherby with 180 grain NBT when I go elk hunting. One jerk blasting through a long stalk I had worked on for nearly an hour changed all that. Now I can shoot from a half a mile away and not have to be so sneaky…


Alright Zumbo. I guess that's good enough reason to use the 300WBY. Even if you were just joking around.. Here's mine:

I don't know about Zumbo, but I doubt there are many people here that have killed more elk.

I don't spend much time with targets, mostly hunting and shooting critters of all sizes. The 300 Weatherby does give me the range I don't have with the 30-06, but the '06 never did let me down.

No targets to show, I just check the gun on a small rock every now and then, and then go hunting...

Private ranches and elk farms and Missouri breaks isn't elk hunting. It's elk shooting. I used to live in Gallatin area and if you have access to private property is a Prairie dog shoot more or less. Same with deer hunting up the Boulder.

I've killed more animals hitting my vehicle than I ever did hunting around private property
